SHELLED BY MONITOR.

Malabo as Native Church restroyed by the HoaalaoCic. The rebels at Malabon fired upon the cruiser Callao from the jungle Monday while Admiral Dewey was visiting the Moaadnock. Three shells were dropped by the monitor into the Malabon Church, demolishing the structure and killing a number of rebels who were inside. A factory at Malolos is reported to be running day and night to supply ammunition for the insurgents. The ignorance of the natives is shown by the faet.that they have collected empty Springfield shells and are refilling them. Over two thousand of these cartridges have been discovered in houses in Pandacan by an officer of the Washington volunteers.
